''1zs " ''--'-----7- CHIN ESE BELLIES.
Their Appearance and Mode Of
 Life in New York Tenements,

Clara Belle in Chicago Tribune.
 Among the children who have been brought u the attention of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty arc two Chinese girls. It WAS claim ed that they had been kidnapped in San Francisco two years ago and were held here for the purpose of selling them as wives to resident Celestlals. The charge was not proved, and for the present, at least, the case has beeen abandoned. The girls are novelty here. As in oth CT places, the Chinese do not permit their wives or daughters to be seen on the street. There are several Chinese women in this city, and when it happened that they have been brought into the presence of people with missionary spirit they said that they had not been out of the house before for months, some times for more than a year, and in one well authenticated case it was little over two years since a female resident of Mott street had set her foot outside her tenement. It was not quite so bad in the case of the girls, but for weeks at time it has been the habit of the guardians to keep them shut up at home. The sshome" is near the head of Mott street in four story building devot ed party to trade and manufacture. Cigars are made on the first floor, and there is store there also. Up stars is another coInercial establish ment, and III the top stories are tenements. The rooms are of course small and ill fitted for habitation. In that respect the heathen girls are as well oil as thousands of their Christian fellow beings on the East side. One of them is dressed in the American fashion, and but for the odd waddle that passes for her gait would not be taken for Chinese at distance The other wears na- tive costume. It consists, first, in a blouse that hangs from the neck to the knees, not belted or caught in any way at the waist. Loose trou- sers are over the legs and bound at bottom closely around the ankles. The shoes are thick soled wooden affairs, familiar as the foot coverings of common laundrymen, but they are excessively small and bear witness to the cramping of the feet custom ary with the Chinese. Both blouse and trousers are of pale blue color, unadorned with figures. It IS the ordinary costume of the Chinese ol the poorer class. The shiny black hair of the girl dressed like an American was brashcd straight back from the brow and wound into a great knot at the back of the head. The other dressed her hair in the native style. Over each ear was a flat, thin, circular disk of hair that looked as If it might have been made of artificial hair and stuck to the head. All Chinese women learn early how to do this. A gummy pomade is essential to this task, but It takes considerable skill to weave and wind this hair into it's thin and circulary position.

My mother, who lives at La- fayette, Ala, has been great sufferer from liver trouble for four years phy- sicians absolutely failing to give her re- lief. Having heard of the cures affect ed by your medicine, procured four bottles and sent them for her to try, urging her to give them fair trial, and now she writes me as follows :: "rhanks to that wonderful medicine you sent me, my health is greatly im- proved; the pain in my side, which the doctors here could not relieve, has en- tirely disappeared and I feel like l had new lease on life. | have heard from my mother since the above was written, and she regards the cure as complete. Many of my friends at this place use Hepatozone with great sasis- facction, and pronounce 1t one of the very best of liver medicines.

New York Star: That very sense less proposition for q distribution of surplus federal revenues among the States has come before the public once through a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury by Mr. E. L. Andrews. That gentleman proposes that the surplus from the United States Treasury shall be de posited in the national banks with Tn the respective States in propor- tion to thelr representation ia Con. gress. But States that have de- faulted on their bonds to the United States or to other creditors shall not receive any portion of the surplus until they have arranged a settle
 ment, to which their share shall be applied ThIs is an extremely vic- ious proposition. The United States has nothing whatever to do with the debts of States to parties other than to the federal government, and such q law might well be the entering wedge for the absorption Of State powers under federal control. This one feature of MT. Andrews scheme is SO atally objectionable that we do not feel called upon to discuss oth CT details of his proposition.

DARDANELLE. ARK, July 14.- Advlces from the interior announce that two corps of Missouri Pacific surveyors are in the field between BelleyilIe, this county. and Perry vile, Perry County, on the line of the proposed road from Fort smith to Little Rock, both under the su- peryision of Col. Van Frank. The location of this section of the road has not been decided on, and the two parties are making thorough ex- animation of the whole country be- tween these points. It is declared by parties supposed to know that the Fort Smith, Paris and Darda- nelle road will be built in Yell Coun ty before the Missouri Pacific has it's branch in operation. Dardanelle people are much exercised over the matter, as road across the western part of the county will injure this place very much financially.

Post Dispatch: The ex Union ne- gro soldiers are pressing their clalms to admission in the C.. A. k. in a way which threatens to make it more unpleasant for the organiza- tion than the pension, flag or Presi- dential visit question. It is stated that an appeal will be made to the Grand Encampment here next fall, and the galling charge is put for ward that the reason the grand Ar my men refuse to admit negroes is for fear tte cordial relations existing between them and the ex Confeder- ate veterans might be interrupted. In other words, that the Union men refuse out of difference to Southern sentiment. This may not trouble the Northern veterans much, but the forcing of the question may re. suit in the discovery that the senti- ment against social equality of blacks and whites is just as strong among the masses of the North as among the masses of the South.

I see the sunlight falling Ger meadow, brook and hill; My heart beats fast, and faster- 0, throbbing heart, be still Again I see the faces That left me long ago; Where they to-day are dwelling, God alone, may know. But see. the phantoms vanish; l greet them, and they're gone-- Of all the fair and rich array, There now remains, not one. Oh, Memory thou sad refrain, That echoes through the spheres, Making hollow discord in The symphony of years. Ye come to me chiding boast, To mock me with the past And life's rosy morning-tide, Too transient for to last. My thoughts In empty dreaming The past no more shall roam, But dwell on Hope s new visions, That cluster 'round my home. I'll let the past forever Pass like scroll away, And think of earth's new beauties That greet me day by day. Is it not the lingering sunsets after
 glow
 That bathes the hills to-day, more
 fair than all The vanished sunsets of the long ago, When childhood played in sylvan
 bower, or hall 'Twere sweet to rove again the pleas

 roved before my cheeks with pas
 sion burned; But sweeter in Loves Temple now to
 kneel,
 And know in manhood trusting love
 returned. May. my heart, like the Jacinth's wax

 Be pure, without one spot, or stain
 of crime; The wistful ghost of Memory -hear his
